I've used an old mb trac with Werner conversion twin drum winches. It's the best winch ever built especially when used with the remote!

 

Been quoted over 100k for tractor and set up which isn't the issue it's just not purpose built for the job in hand. Could get a sensible forwarder and the above mentioned mb trac in good condition for approx same price. Both of which are built for there required jobs!

 

Too much choice out there that's the problem.

 

I nearly got myself an MB1500 going for a steal. In the end i went to play with big kit in Finland.

 

Too much choice is the problem.

Agri based gives you versatility and is a hell of a lot easier to get parts and repairs.

 

Purpose built will tolerate the new forestry generations stumps. Problem is if you need to get Ponnse to fix your forwarder. They're a day away at least!

 

a 100ks worth of tractor is a hell of a lot. That Kronos Crane or still Kesla?

IS that a clam bunk stuck in there as well so it does every thing apart from grapple skid?

That was a kesla electric control with a 2008 t151 valtra and 10t driven trailer and a winch. Knock off the driven gear and winch at its still best part of 90k+vat.

Still waiting for Kronos price!

That's the 6x6 model complete with timber bunk winch and clum bunk grapple! Its amazing kit if I could find a used one of these I would be happy but there nowhere to be found.

If it's over yours then it's really over mine then. It looks ace.

Have to be moving some serious firewood to make that pay. Maybe when I upgrade to another machine wf will be the one!
